Τα καλύτερα του Σαιν-Ραφαέλ

Saint-Raphaël Essentials

Saint-Raphaël spans the coastline where the red rhyolite of the Estérel Massif meets the Mediterranean. This selection includes the 618-meter Mont Vinaigre, the massif's highest peak, alongside the Neolithic Pierre Levée menhir. The list covers diverse coastal terrain, from the sheltered sandy bay of Agay to the pebble shores of Santa-Lucia. It also highlights local commerce at the Old Port's fishermen's market and the historic 1895 Valescure golf course, the oldest in the Var department.
